For series 2 of my podcast about long distance paths and walking in the UK, I tackle the Worcestershire Way. A 31 mile walk through the beautiful English countryside. This episode features the second half of the walk from Knightwick to Malvern.
Given the importance of fruit orchards to Worcestershire I also chat to apple and pear expert and Countryside Officer from the Worcestershire County Council Wade Muggleton about all things apples and pears and learn why pears are associated with Worcestershire.
To learn about the importance that orchards play on improving the biodiversity of our countryside I also talked to Steve Oram, Orchard Biodiversity Officer from the Peoples Trust for Endangered Species who is also secretary for to the UK Orchard Network
The episode also covers the top 12 facts about the county of Worcestershire!
I'm trying to complete a self contained LDP in each of the 38 counties of England. Worcestershire will be my 5th county. I'm hoping that my podcast series will inspire others in the UK to walk a long distance path (LDP) - there are over 1,500 routes to choose from, check these out via www.ldwa.org.uk for more information
